Is Your iPhone 5 No Longer Charging?
Some customers have been experiencing issues with their iPhones charging intermittently. The only way to get it to charge is by holding the cable at that "perfect angle". A customer as a last resort attempted to clean the charging port on their iPhone 5 only to damage some of the pins inside the port.
When we received this handset, we took one look at it a knew it needed to be replaced. Before installing the new charging port, we had to check to see if this would fix the issue (as sometimes there can be other charging issues with the handset).
This repair was just for the faulty charging port, which after installation worked like a dream. This was done while the customer waited and within 20 mins and a bit of charging the customer could continue their day with minimal interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know it is the Lightning charging port and not the cable or battery?
If the iPhone 5 will not charge with more than one known-good cable and plug, charges only when the lead is held at an angle, or the connector feels loose, the Lightning charging port is the likely cause. A worn cable or faulty plug can mimic the same symptoms, which is why we always rule those out first, and a battery that drains fast while still charging normally points to the battery instead. Debris packed into the port, or a fault that appeared after a drop or liquid, also point to the port rather than the cable.
Check current turnaround and reserve a slot on our booking page.
How long does a iPhone 5 Lightning charging port repair take?
Most iPhone 5 Lightning charging port repairs are completed the same day when we have the part in stock, often within a couple of hours of dropping in near Liverpool Street Station in London. We inspect and test first, since some charging faults are solved by cleaning the port rather than replacing it, and we confirm the timeframe before starting. Mail-in repairs are turned around as quickly as the post allows once your device reaches us.
Not sure? It is worth booking a quick diagnosis first.
What is included in the repair?
We inspect the Lightning charging port first and clean out any debris, since a blocked port is sometimes the whole problem. If the port itself has failed, we replace the charging assembly and then test charging from flat, charging behaviour and connection stability. The repair carries a 12-month warranty covering the part and our workmanship.
See exactly how we work on our how we work page.
What charging cable does the iPhone 5 need?
The iPhone 5 uses a Lightning connection for charging and data. After the repair we test charging from flat and confirm the connection is firm and stable with a known-good cable. If your cable or plug is worn, replacing those at the same time helps avoid the fault returning.

Will my data be wiped during the repair?
No. A iPhone 5 Lightning charging port repair is a hardware-only job and does not require us to wipe or reset your device, so your files and settings are untouched. We still suggest keeping a recent backup before any repair as good practice, in case the device has damage beyond the port. The repair work itself does not access your storage.
It is also worth checking your iPhone 5 screen repair.
What warranty is included?
Every iPhone 5 Lightning charging port repair includes a 12-month warranty covering both the replacement part and our workmanship. If a warranty-covered fault returns within that period, we put it right at no extra cost. The warranty does not cover a worn cable or plug, fresh liquid exposure or new accidental damage, which we always explain clearly.
